Thanks to the antibacterial effect of apple cider vinegar undesirable microorganisms can be slowed down. This helps the intestinal flora and thus also a problem-free digestion. Chili peppers heat up the metabolism properly. This happens through the pungent agent capsaicin, which can even boost fat burning in the short term.

Vegan tortillas are filled here with jackfruit as a chicken substitute. You can get these in a jar, in a can or also vacuum-packed in well-stocked supermarkets, in organic and unpackaged stores and even in some drugstores on the grocery shelf.
